Looked at all of your 'on this day' quizzes, and this was the only one with no takes. So I had to take it. I did not do well. Not at all. But at least it's been taken now! :)

Why thank you kind Sir ! I appreciate you taking the time to take some of my quizzes. I understand your frustration with results, I'll be honest I take my own quizzes occasionally a couple of weeks or months later. I struggle to get all the correct answers as well. Unfortunately thers only so much that happens on any given day and obviously some of that is going to be quite obscure.

Once again thanks for taking my quiz, hopefully I will complete my own challenge and make one for each day of the year
